Scripture: John 13: 36-37
Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
Scripture Commentary: Follow Jesus’ example and have a servant’s heart
Will you hear the Lord’s voice when He calls you? Each day that you don’t follow Him, you are denying Him. How many times has the cock crowed in your life?

Jesus was the model servant showing the disciples – and us – how to behave. If God in the flesh is willing to serve, we as His followers must also be servants. We must be willing to serve in any way that glorifies God.
John 13 may be hard for leaders who don’t think of themselves as followers. But if we are to serve Jesus, we must get on our hands and knees and become servants.
